This is a great sipping rum, especially if you're just starting out. Not as funky as other sippers in the same price range, but still delicious. A very round flavor profile that just envelopes your pallet. Goes down easy.
This was my first XO and wow was it worth it. Tempted to go 10 but not sure I can place it above Diplomatico which is my favourite to date. But this is smooth and sweet - amazing straight and I also enjoyed with a tiny squeeze of lime and ice
This is an excellent non-sweet rum with rich aromas suitable for whisky drinkers. The beginning of the nose offers a hint of cinnamon spice, reminds me of the Johnny Walker blue label. Easily one of my favorites.
This is Sooo good
Amazing smell, sweet and oaky.
The thast is tropicaly sweet and full of molasess.
The finish is the best, you get a mouth wash of butter-cookies.
I'm having a lot of fun with this bottle.
I have tried the updated blend, from ex-whisky, ex-bourbon, ex-cognac barrels. This is a beautifully crafted rum, a true classic with slightly lighter tones than the old blend by adding the ex-cognac barrels aged part which I appreciate. Beautiful, rich nose, with hits of coconut, oak and champaign, well matching, balanced taste which adds tones of vanilla, toffee, spices and charred oak. To give it a better score - I would appreciate more refined finish, it is kind of earthy, with hoppy bitterness to it - but nevertheless, it is a an honest unadulterated rum, no sugar, true pleasure.
Nose of crême brulée. Perfectly dry taste, no alcohol burn and long and velvety finish. Very good, and for its value I would probably rate it 9/10.
Mount Gay XO is an extremely solid sipping rum, it is my all time favourite (after Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva and after Santa Teresa 1796). It is less sweet compared with the others
'ripe banana and toast, followed by vanilla, pastry and...'
"Mount Gay Extra Old rum review by The Ultimate Rum Guide"
It is spicy especially on the finish and a little bit short.
"The nose is very fruity. Raisin, prunes and currants with a little banana and some tropical fruits a little pineapple perhaps."

I managed to find the oldest bottle, with the Barbados depiction thereupon. Greatly balanced, rich taste, pleasant burn, crisp and satisfying. One of the finest drinks that i've ever tasted out there, period. I followed the suggestions with coconut-water ice-cubes and it was okay, but i still prefer it neat.
I also managed to get a hold of its evolution, by Allen Smith, the black box one with golden letters. This felt way better, even though it was like stronger, dryer, harsher, with more powerful burn. This one i liked much better and prefer clearly. With coconut water ice-cubes, it becomes much smoother and way more tasty! If you strain yourself a bit though, you can perfectly drink it neat. With cola i didn't like it much, because its taste gets toned down quite a bit. Dominant wood and hints of smoke. Its every sip reeks of awesomeness and style! Allen, we miss you dearly!
